uble Pink as described by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com. I want to make her mystery quilt Double Delight. Of course, I'm not doing it as a mystery. I want to make it a bit smaller -- like wallhanging size. So I figured I could wait til the end and then figure out what I needed from there. So this is the beginning. Bonnie used cheddar, indigos and shirting. I'm going to be making some changes but I do like that cheddar. Do I have any cheddar? Probably not but I'll look before I shop! The burgundy in the background is the sashing for the million brick quilt. (So named by me!) I haven't decided how big to make that but at least I have enough of the sashing to make it huge should I want to. (Probably don't want to!) 
I also bought some darker batiks to go with a group I am working with. These will blend right in with my planned quilt. It is basically a big nine patch gone funky. I am using a pattern from McCall's Quilting Feb. 2009. It has beading on it and is suppose to look "beachy." I don't need the beads but I may actually put some embellishments on after I get the quilt done. That is my priority for February.
Here are all the fabrics I plan to use on this quilt. Yummy. I haven't made a whole quilt from batiks yet but I'm looking forward to working with these. They will be a joy to work on as winter continues.
HELP
I have been so frustrated uploading my pictures today. Maybe some of you bloggers would know the answer to this question. I uploaded the picture of the 4 turquoise fabrics at least three times today because as I manipulated all the photos I lost that one. My question is there a way to get this photo back without reloading it? I know they go somewhere. The question is where and how can I get it back.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteTry Control/right click, then select undo. That usually saves me.
Sometimes when I can't get a photo to go where I want, I use control/X, position the cursor, then control/V.
Hope you have a great cruise!
